Supplies needed for your DIY Zip code sign:

Steps

  1. Grab your desired size of wood block. You can use scrap wood like we did. Just grab a piece you have laying around
  2. Use the original wood color or you can paint it a solid color if you desire.
  3. Lay out your stencil numbers first to make sure they will all fit before you start adding paint.
  4. With your finger dauber start applying paint inside your stencil working from the last number to the first. That way you can keep your numbers fitting on your board.
  5. To make your board appear more rustic you can take a hand sander and rough up the edges a bit more.
  6. Add some twine to the end of your board to add a little extra flair to your board. You can add hot glue first to get your twine started before wrapping it around the end of your board.
  7. You can also hot glue some little pieces of greenery to the middle of your twine.

Tips and Tricks for stenciling numbers on a wood board

When it comes to using stencils there are a few little tricks that are great to know when using them for your crafts:

  • If you are reusing a stencil twice in a project you will want to be sure to wipe off the back of the stencil with a wipe so you do not get paint that may have bleed to the back on your wood board.
  • Lay out your stencils first before you start painting to make sure they will fit on your board
  • Investing in finger sponge daubers will really help you get the paint nice and even.
